Done well, meetings result in productive collaboration, creative problem solving, and innovative new ideas that move your company forward.

63% of all meetings have no planned agenda

Productive brainstorming sessions account for just 5% of all meetings

73% of attendees admit they do other work during meetings

No wonder we all dread meetings!

Hosting a productive meeting is easier said than done — but it’s not complicated. Use these simple strategies to run efficient, effective meetings that actually help your team do great work.
